Is there a way to stop/block/disable assignment comments from students & parents? I use comments one way (from me) and expect students to see me personally with assignment questions.
@carrie_marusich Unfortunately, there is no way to limit students from making comments on assignments. It looks like there are a couple feature ideas for this that you may want to follow:
The links above no longer seem to work since they migrated to the a new platform. But I agree that the ability to disable comments in assignments (or anywhere in Canvas) needs to be available and not on by default.

Yup, if you hover over those two links from @james_whalley's above response, you'll see in part of the URL that those are coming from the previous Ideas space in the Canvas Community site.

So, we'll need to wait for the Community team to reveal their new process for Ideas, but I'm not exactly sure when that will happen.
Hope this helps in some way.

Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
